Anthony Lledo (born 11 January 1972) is a Danish composer.
He has composed music for several films and tv-series and made his feature film debut with the score for the Swedish film Frostbite. His dark thematic orchestral score received widely critically acclaim and won the Best Score Award at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival in Hollywood, Los Angeles.[1] Music from Frostbite was later performed in concert by the Malmö Symphony Orchestra.
In 2008, Lledo moved to Los Angeles upon being invited by film composer Harry Gregson-Williams, and did additional music and arrangements for several major films, including X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, DreamWorks' Shrek Forever After, Ben Affleck's The Town, Cowboys & Aliens, and the Tony Scott films The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and Unstoppable.

In 2018 Lledo and composer Mikkel Maltha composed the score for the feature film The Purity of Vengeance (Journal 64), the fourth installment of the Department Q film series directed by Christoffer Boe based on the successful books by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen. The film topped the chart as the most watched film of 2018 in Denmark and broke record as the highest-ever grossing local film in Danish cinemas.[3] Lledo also composed the score for Daniel Prince’s short film Invaders.
